Perez- Senior Planner Division: Zoning & Current Development Date: October 3, 2012 Subject: SDP2012 -00056 Yves Delorme -minor amendment The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department Community Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] Critical Slopes Waiver 1. [Chapter 18 Section 4.21 As proposed a critical slope waiver is required. Please provide the waiver request; one was not included in the initial application. Also, assure the fee of $425 for the modification/ waiver requests is paid at the time of resubmittal. 2. There appears to be a discrepancy between the proposed access road width depicted on sheet C3 (20' wide) and the site plan amendment narrative on sheet C1 (24' wide). Revise to assure the request is consistent. 3. [Comment] The proposal under review is a minor amendment, thus the Final Site Plan # SDP89 -086 which the amendment is tied to needs to be referenced on sheet C1 (cover sheet). Assure the information is provided on the cover sheet, preferably in the title. 4. [Comment] It appears there are changes proposed that aren't included in the "site plan amendment narrative" supplied on the cover sheet; please verify and provide a comprehensive list of all proposed site modifications on the cover sheet. 5. After a recent site visit it has become apparent that the plan does not accurately reflect what is located onsite with regard to the existing parking lot. I provide the following: * [Chapter 18 Section 4.12.13(c)] Per the revised SF of industrial floor area as depicted on the plan, one (1) loading space is required. Please depict /label the loading space on the plan and on the cover sheet under parking schedule. * [Chapter 18 Section 4.12.13(e)] Assure the existing dumpster pad location is depicted and labeled on the plan as it appears the location has been modified from the original final site plan. The existing 3 board fence which is depicted on sheet C2 was not found onsite during the site visit. Revise as appropriate. 6. [Chapter 18 Section 4.12.61 Parking. With this minor amendment the site is updating its onsite building uses /SF calculations with regard to parking requirements. On sheet C1 under Parking Schedule assure the correct parking calculations are being utilized for "industrial" use. Below I have provided the parking calculations for this use: "Industrial use not otherwise identified: One (1) space per employee on the largest shift plus one (1) space per five hundred (500) square feet open to the public for customer parking, but in all cases a minimum of two (2) customer parking spaces. " Revise. 7. [Chapter 18 Section 32.7.91 On sheet Cl, under Landscaping Canopy, in the Planting Schedule, for Large Shade Trees, the Plantanus x acerifolia (London Planetree) is required to be between 1.5" and 1.75" caliper. On the plan it is unclear if the size listed is caliper or height. Assure this section of the chart specifies the measurement for each planting type. Revise. [Comment] On the plan indicate the location and deed book/page reference of any existing utility easements on the property. 9. [Comment] The entrance of the proposed access rd is relatively close to the existing entrance to the site. Depending on the type of vehicles entering and exiting the site, tractor trailers /cars /loading trucks, will this be enough space for a complete turn onto or off of Broadway Street? VDOT Comments — Joel DeNunzio 1. The plan needs to show sight distances on Broadway Street in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendix F. The entrance should also be field verified by the engineer, if assistance is needed, they can contact the VDOT Land Use Permits section. 2. A Land Use Permit will be required for work within the road right of way for the sanitary lateral and the storm sewer proposed work. ACSA — Alex Morrison The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has received and reviewed the plan/document /project described above. All ACSA comments have been addressed by the applicant. The ACSA hereby approves the plan. Fire and Rescue Comments - Robbie Gilmer No objections Building Inspections — Jay Schlothauer No objections Engineering Comments — Max Greene Comments are pending Comments from Engineering are pending and will be provided to the applicant once they are received.
